First Group Of Refugees From Australian Detention Centers Is Headed To The U.S.
It's part of a deal between the Obama administration and Australia. President Trump called the agreement "horrible" in a heated phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in January.
A few dozen refugees held in offshore detention centers run by Australia have left to be resettled in the U.S.
They are the first of up to 1,250 asylum-seekers the Obama administration agreed to accept in a deal with the Australian government in exchange for Australia accepting refugees from Central America.
It's the same deal that was the subject of a contentious phone call between President Trump and Australian. "As far as I am concerned, that is enough Malcom [sic]. I have had it."
